Re: Time to make arrangements
Well, I have a nicely packaged box sitting on my desk waiting to be ripped open but it will have to wait a little longer! Promised my 4 yr old son that I would wait for him after school/swimming etc. So the wait goes on.......

Re: Time to make arrangements
does anyone else have a different shade of red on the second hand and "12" marker?
or is #33 unique/broken?
the second 1 on the "11" marker seems to be set lower than the first also.....
anyone else or is it me?

The 12 and seconds are different shade of red. Well at least mine is as well.andyg wrote:does anyone else have a different shade of red on the second hand and "12" marker?

do you, or anyone else find this a little disconcerting?

Re: Time to make arrangements
Would prefer them to be the same shade but don't dislike it any for being how it is. I have yet to own a watch I 100% love there is always something I would want changed so no issues, the C6FLE does come close to perfect though.

Think this is more to do will the effect on the background they are painted on, black versus silver. Personally they are close enough for me and anyway I think it makes the second hand jump out a little more.
No issue with the 11. Could this be an optical illusion or can you show us a photo?

Re: Time to make arrangements
It looks as if the second 1 on my 11 is fractionally short, but this might be an optical illusion due to the curvature of the crystal.
But, it's not an issue for me.
With the colours I suppose they are both technically the same shade, but have been applied in different ways (painted & screen printed) so are bound to be slightly different as the medium used was most likely different (thicker for the second hand) and the actual finish of the two (black painted dial & (most likely) unpainted punched steel second hand).
Again, not an issue for me.

Not the first pics, but perhaps the first modified? On a Toshi...

I think the beefier strap suits it well. I stuck mine on a Chronissimo...
My next test is the Di-Modell Jumbo..

Re: Time to make arrangements
Glad you guys are enjoying your watches, but I, unfortunately, have had to cancel my order as I simply can't justify the expense at the moment.........just got too many other things that need paying for!!

Re: Time to make arrangements
Just a quick check if anyone can clarify; the lug width of the case seems to be 20mm - is this correct? Just need to know to make sure I get the correct size strap.
